- Writing Tests
The LG drive supports the new Double Layer recording format. We burned a Verbatim DVD+R DL disc (manufactured by MKM) with DVD-Video content. The source disc was "Gladiator Movie - Special Edition" Disc1 with a total size of 6.86GB.
First, we transferred the movie to the hard disc with DVD Decrypter as ISO format (single file). We chose the "GLADIATOR.ISO" image and we selected the LG burner to start burning.
After pressing "OK", the burning procedure started after 18sces:
The writing process finished after 38:12 minutes. The average speed was 2.33X as reported by the CopyToDVD software. The recorded disc was in DVD+R9 format.
For comparison reasons, we post some burning results from other DL writers, which all burned the same content ("Gladiator Movie - Special Edition" disc1), using the CopyToDVD software:

We then tried to burn a Double Layer media provided by Traxdata. The disc was recognized without any complaint from the drive, and burning started after 45secs.
The total burning time was 38:08mins:
